our conversations are like minefields
If there's one thing New Moon taught me it's that if I want more emotionally resonant moments in my life I'm going to need to stop wearing shirts.
As a parting gift from my boss I was given a packet of ‘chocolate rocks’. Much to my amazement she explained that while they look like rocks you can in fact eat them as confectionery. Last night I spent far longer than I would like to admit attempting to create a chocolate Stone Henge and simultaneously gorging myself.
I figure history wasn’t exactly written by the hungry.
The shower repair guy may have missed his calling as a popular culture commentator.
It may have been the slightly jarring effect of being greeted by me at the front door in boxer shorts but I wasn’t aware repair jobs proceeded in this manner.
Him: “Have you seen New Moon yet?!”
Me: “What? No, didn’t it only come out today? The shower is over there.”
Him: “Oh cool, yeah I saw the first one last night, I’m not sure how any guy would like it.”
Me: “I’m pretty sure it targets a more female demographic. The shower has been leaking a lot and also I think the main problem is actually to do with the shower frame.”
Him: “I mean, what’s so good about lying around in a field all day? Edward only does that because he never sleeps and it means he has nothing else to do.”
Me: “Yeah, it’s tough being a vampire. Also last week the person downstairs was complaining about a leak so that might be something related to it.”
Him: “At least it’s not Harry Potter, I can’t wait for the last movie where Harry dies at the end.”
Me: “I’m pretty sure he doesn’t die at the end.”
Him: “Also how many more Twilight movies will there be? Eventually Bella will be ninety-five and Edward will still be seventeen. Won’t that be weird?!”
Me: “Super weird. I’m actually going to go back to bed now if that’s OK, let me know if any shower-related issues come up.”
Alternate title: The day I used the bathroom ‘heat’ light as a weapon.
Silly cat what are you doing on the train? Your paws are clearly incapable of operating the ticket machine. Purring won’t get you out of a fine if the inspectors come!
A perk of working in health is that occasionally pharmaceutical companies see fit to bestow upon you related promotional stationery. A case in point would be my recently acquired bone pen. I’m yet to actually require the pen aspect of the bone pen, however that hasn’t stopped me wearing it with a certain amount of over-enthusiastic gusto.
“You look like a cave man with that thing” would have to be the best retort received thus far.
There Will Be Fireworks - Foreign Thoughts
This song is train stations at night and it looks as if it is about to rain but somehow it holds off and there is thunder in the distance but you’re in the train now and headed safely home.
Think somewhere along the lines of Frightened Rabbit and We Were Promised Jetpacks, as if the name didn’t give it away already.
If there was ever a better Terran strategy than all out defense until your Battlecruiser fleet was ready no-one ever told me.
Brood War you add NOTHING of value to my life.
